To consider cosleeping cot for 7 week old

[AshBluex]

We have a moses basket but our 7 week old LO does not seem to settle, he thrashes about and mumers all night.

A few nights he has totally refused to settle and been wide awake. We have ended up popping him in bed with me and he falls asleep almost instantly and doesn't stir, he even goes longer between bottles by a few hours.

We are considering getting a cosleeping cot until he is ready for his own room, but I am worried about making it harder when we want him to be able to sleep more independently. Does anyone have any advice or experience? We are looking at the BabyLo Cozi sleeper.

TIA xx

They're great, make it much easier to get them for a feed. Saved my sanity.for no2. She was ok (as much any baby is) going into her own room and by 9mo spent most of the night there, coming back with me when she woke early

I coslept with all three of mine, basically because DD1 stopped breathing at 8bweeks, and I couldn't bear the thought of it happening again.

I have the chicco next2me. I love it. Ds settled in that i think i lasted two nights with the moses basket. I cant recommend it enough

In my experience they don't make it harder. We had one when she was tiny, she outgrew it and we coslept using it as a barrier to stop her falling out, then put a travel cot in our room where she slept until the first night wake up when she moved into our bed. Did that until six months. Just put her in her own cot in her own room last night, went down with no problems, was still in it when we went to bed, moved her into our bed for convenience when she woke at 4 a.m.

Do whatever you can to get the rest you need now... worry about other stuff further down the line. All babies are different - but he instinctively wants to be close to his mum... they all do at that age!
DS is still in bed with me now at age 13 months but none of us are in a rush to put him in his own room yet so it works for us!
